There is one thing I have learned since becoming a mother, the power of sisterhood. Whether it is a relative, a close friend, or a friend from social media – these girls are my tribe. What I love about my tribe is that not all are mama’s. I have single friends and married friends who are there for me. They are… Read More

Let me invite you further into my mind, a different, deeper insight to my PND. Silence sweeps. Not a whisper or breath of it is spoken. Only the conversations in my mind are loud, talking on top of each other – weaving into a tangled knot. My mind falls down the rabbit hole, and there is no way of climbing… Read More

One of the many things I vowed I would never do when I became a mother is co-sleep. I was so adamant about it too, alongside not to formula feed, and only use cloth nappies.

When my PND peaked, my life was out of control. I almost lost everything. I was not thinking clearly and all I felt was this sadness, and… Read More

I will never forget the day I admitted to myself I may have postnatal depression. I put My son (let’s call him D) into the baby carrier and took myself to our family GP. My anxiety was at its peak, but all I could ever feel was emptiness, nothingness, and some sort of sadness. Most of all, I felt like… Read More

If I was a stranger looking into my life from an outside view – I would think my life is pretty perfect. Peering on my social media profile’s it looks like I have it together. I have a pretty good job, a supporting and loving husband, a happy and gorgeous little boy and a good, happy, fulfilled life. I have… Read More
